PROSPECTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION

The present document has been developed as part of the ORGANIC ECOSYSTEM project, entitled “Boosting Cross-Border Organic Ecosystem Through Enhancing Agro-Food Alliances,” which is an ENI-CBC-MED initiative. The primary objective of the project is to facilitate the dialogue and collaboration between various stakeholders and to improve the access of organic MSMEs to agro-food markets, which have become increasingly complex due to the requirements of both quality and trade rules. The ORGANIC ECOSYSTEM project brings together partners from 6 Mediterranean Countries and 5 Competent Authorities (CAs) responsible for the sector’s policy and surveillance, operating within the framework of the MOAN, the Mediterranean Organic Agriculture Network, coordinated by CIHEAM Bari, and connecting all CAs across 24 Euro-Mediterranean Countries.
